Dr. Lauren Jessell
Must read for all healthcare professionals!!
As a behavioral health researcher turned psychotherapist, I'm wary to hop on the bandwagon for every new health intervention fad. But the power of music is nothing new. The book shows us that the science is just catching up with what humans have always known intuitively to be true. Sometimes the most obvious interventions (like exercise) are the more powerful and, frustratingly, the least utilized by healthcare providers. I will approach the topic with more care in my work moving forward and the book gave me lots of ideas. I found Fleming's description of the work the NIH is doing to be quite exciting as well.
